Being fair and not influenced by personal feelings or interests; sometimes also used to mean not interested in something.

الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة

'Disinterested' primarily means 'neutral' or 'unbiased', especially in formal or legal contexts ('a disinterested judge'). Many confuse it with 'uninterested' (not interested). In spoken English, 'disinterested' is sometimes (incorrectly) used for 'uninterested', but this is considered wrong in formal writing.
